Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi,juganut.
What distribution and version are you using?
Who is your ISP?
Are you using Gnome or KDE?
Ive only used kppp to get a dialup connection.With that app,in addition to the stuff you entered in linuxconf,I also needed the ISP's dns addresses,I had to contact Earthlink to obtain this information.HTH

I have only used Kppp and it needed all the DNS and other stuff entered in to work properly. Sometimes depending on your ISP, you might have to enter your full email address instead of your username to connect.
Linuxconf is only the configuration utility though, you should use the Kppp or any of the GNOME dial up tools to connect now.
